This is absolutely the type of stuff that should be flagged--linkbait, politics, off-topic.

How can anyone take an article seriously when the title is so intellectually dishonest, hyperbolic, and factually untrue? Please keep this stuff on Reddit.

Completely disagree. It's a great article. I'd agree you should change the title, it sounds a little too ridiculous.

I'm glad you and others seem to like the article, but I'm perplexed by the weight everyone is giving the title. I have a 2006 letter from the U.S. Attorney's office saying that (as of that time) they are considering opening a criminal investigation into my actions under a statute that requires automatic jail time. The President wants to make this kind of letter more common, or skip the letter step altogether.

Not every piece of literature ever written has a title that perfectly summarizes the contents. I like my title, but regardless, the issues discussed in the piece are what's important.
